Music

Music is vital to our worship at Bethel! Our church is alive and bustling with musical opportunities. There are several ways to participate with the music here at Bethel: Chancel Choir, Handbell Choir, Small Ensembles and Hot Shots (kids' worship band).

Chancel Choir singing at Bethel

Chancel Choir

The Bethel Chancel Choir is a more formal ensemble that rehearses and performs intermittently throughout the program year. This choir is a non-auditioned ensemble and is open to anyone with a love of singing.

The Chancel Choir rehearses some Thursdays from 7:30 PM-9:00 PM in the Sanctuary. If you're interested in singing with the Chancel Choir, contact music director Owen Hofmann-Smith using the form below.

Hot Shots

The Hot Shots is our fantastic kids' worship band. These elementary and middle school age kids are a fantastic talented bunch. Under the guidance of music director, Owen Hofmann-Smith they learn how to rock out without making anyone's ears bleed. It is recommended that new students have two years of private study on their instrument or strong solo voice ability to join up with the Hot Shots. They rehearse from 5:15 PM to 6:15 PM on Tuesday afternoons in the basement music office. If you're interested in performing with this ensemble, contact music director Owen Hofmann-Smith using the form below.
